That’s easy. My walk-up song is Andra Day’s Cheers to the Fall. Because the lyrics basically say that if you fall trying to accomplish major things, then so be it. Better to fail while trying to make this world a more humane place than not try at all. #EquityChat
Q1 @profnai. What is your walk-up song or anthem as you engage in equity-focused work? @Spencer_Fdn @DrPamLuster @Iamkeithcurry @CollegeFutures @EquityAvengers #EquityChat
